People don’t *suddenly* remember at 55. That’s just how long it takes for some people to scrape themselves out of the sewer their lives have turned into by getting molested by the people closest to them, and then being spit in the faces and left to rot by the people who didn’t believe them when it happened. Then it can take them 20 years to stop blaming themselves and spend a decade convincing themselves that unlike 35 years earlier, this time someone might believe them and support them. But maybe not, and risk dying another death. Yes, sometimes it takes people that long.
